the phenomenon whereby certain places of interest are visited by excessive numbers of tourists, causing undesirable effects for the places visited.
The whole bee is just about 8mm long, so rather small. This one was photographed while visiting a local coneflower.

This is what happens when you are trying to take a picture of something with your 35mm at F1.8 and suddenly a cat appears in front of you hehe. As you can see shooting with F1.8 I was only able to get his nose sharp.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

The web can run from the top of a tree 6m high and up to 2m wide. Unlike other spider webs, the Golden Orb Web Spider's web is not dismantled often and can last several years.
Designed to catch large flying insects, the web is slightly angled. It is not a perfect wheel and is usually off-centre. To make its web, the spider releases a thin thread into the wind. When it catches on something, the spider walks along it trailing a stronger non-sticky thread. It repeats the process in the centre of the line to form a strong Y-frame. Around this, it spins the rest of the web out of sticky capture silk.
The silk is so strong that it can trap small birds, which the spider doesn't eat. These trapped creatures often destroy the web by thrashing around. To avoid such damage, the spider often leaves a line of insect husks on its web (like the safety strip across glass doors!); or builds smaller barrier webs around the main web.
The male is many times smaller than the female, some are 1,000 smaller! There are suggestions that it is not a case of the males being dwarves, but the females being giants! The male is so tiny that he can live on the female's web, stealing her food, often without her even noticing him. She may not even notice that he has crept up and inseminated her! Nevertheless, just to be sure, he usually does the deed when she is feeding. In some, mating can take up to 15 hours! The female lives only slightly longer than the male.

I’ve been avoiding people long before the Coronavirus..
I am now in isolation, due to my health conditions I am a health risk. But because I spend lots of time by myself my life feels relatively normal. Only now I have an added bonus that my daughter is home from school, I have so much to be grateful for.
I’m so thankful that I am a photograph hoarder, I now have thousands of photos to play with, re-edit etc plus our garden is full of wildlife, so lots of things to photograph still and now we have more time to spend gardening. Life is good.

Week 10 in 52 Weeks for Dogs and we had some sunshine on Friday morning - it felt good to be out in the forest after a long break. Tasku had a good time with her pal Tiva.
My wife found this small flower in the garden, so we took it for a quick shot (which isn't that sharp, unfortunately).
Had to work the whole day, so i'm a bit late this monday...
Have a wonderful HMME - Happy Macro Monday Evening ;-)
A female, of course, the males are blue. And green is my favorite color!
